• Notes

  Son of Andrew Lawson and Mary Robertson Father of Walter Lawson ------------ Almonte Gazette Born at Lombardy near Perth, 62 years ago. Learned harness making at Perth and later had shops at Lanark and Almonte. 1856 he went into the hotel business at Quyon. Wife Susannah Dunkin who died 4 years ago. Children John of Almonte, Walter, barrister of Eganville, Mrs Smith, Miss Cynthia of Quyon. A sister is Mrs Harrison of South Haven Michigan, U S A. Note: The Almonte Gazette article indicated that Walter Lawson and his wife Susannah went into the hotel business in Quyon, Quebec but they were still in Almonte in 1891 Census and in in Quyon in 1901 Census. Date is likely a miss print and should indicate 1896.
